Chemistry and Technology of Evanescent Wave Biosensors

  • Chapter
Book cover Biosensors with Fiberoptics

Part of the book series: Contemporary Instrumentation and Analysis ((CIA))

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to describe fiberoptic biosensors, particularly in relation to the evanescent wave. The basic optical properties of fibers, the configurations of fiberoptic biosensors, the means of attaching biomolecules to optical surfaces, advances in fiberoptics, and related fields of interest are described. More detailed discussions of some of the topics are found in other chapters in this volume.
